Research & Innovation Project Manager Valeo

Pascal MENEGAZZI obtained a PhD in mechanical engineering in 1989. In 1991, he joined IFPEN where he worked on topics related to the optimization of engine cooling circuits, X-Ray digitization of complex 3D geometries, coupling between CFD and thermomechanics. 

From 2002 to 2008, he led the system simulation activity at IFPEN, including the development of commercial libraries related to thermal engines, in the AMESim environment. He joined Valeo in 2009 as head of vehicle systems simulation, developing the activity on a global scale. In charge of innovation projects, he then worked on various advanced topics such as vehicle digital twins, coupling simulation with systems engineering, multidisciplinary optimization, V2X modelling,….

He is the author of more than 30 scientific publications in international journals and conferences in these fields. For the last 3 years, he has also been involved in the company's carbon neutrality plan through the deployment of the LCA approach.
